"Yves Saint Laurent" 70's-90's Woven leather shoulder bag

"Yves Saint Laurent"
Late 70s–early 90s woven leather shoulder bag

As an indispensable presence when speaking of French luxury, we are pleased to present a distinctive piece by Yves Saint Laurent—one that has brought refined elegance with a sense of fashion to the world.

Its dark brown braided body paired with warm leather trims ranging from camel to cognac brown creates an impressive, inviting color combination. The softly rounded, near-moon silhouette and the use of gold-tone hardware impart a tasteful presence that feels distinctly vintage.

The main body features brown-toned materials with a delicately woven-like texture, while the edging, flap belt, and shoulder strap are finished with leather that is deliberately understated in sheen. As a result, the wholesome character of the materials and the refined feel of the leather naturally harmonize, adding depth to any ensemble.

The front features a belt-equipped flap design. The YSL Cassandre logo, placed on the buckle, adds unmistakable icon value while remaining restrained, and a similar logo can also be seen on the side hardware—creating a composition that lets you appreciate the brand’s aesthetic sensibility down to the details.

On the exterior, the gold-tone metal plate bears the engravings “Yves Saint Laurent” and “MADE IN FRANCE.” It is not the post-2012 “Saint Laurent Paris” full designation, and given the classic design balance—braided brown-toned material, camel leather, and gold hardware—it evokes the mood of the late 1970s through the early 1990s. Since there are no interior tag markings or confirmation of a serial number, we cannot make a precise determination of the production year; however, it is undeniably a piece that carries a genuine vintage air that is characteristic of French-made Yves Saint Laurent.

The silhouette is a shoulder bag with a medium, not-too-slim profile. Its gently rounded body fits comfortably against the body, and the slender straps help ensure it does not feel heavy even when worn over the shoulder. It complements not only dress one-pieces and jacket styles, but also everyday attire such as denim and knitwear as a polished accent.

We particularly recommend it for those who value the texture of materials and a quiet sense of luxury that does not overstate the logo. The soft, brown-based color palette pairs beautifully with autumn and winter wool and leather, and in the spring it adds depth to light, airy outfits in linen and cotton—an all-around exceptional piece.

For styling, you can keep it classic by pairing it with a beige trench coat or a brown tailored jacket. Alternatively, inserting it into a black one-tone look will further highlight the texture of the braided material and the presence of the gold hardware, allowing you to enjoy an elegant vintage mix.

We invite you to take advantage of this opportunity.
